I too don't want to join the chaotic reservation and box office waitlist on V-day. One fun thing to do would be the Edge Coaster (in Crown Regency) or go ziplining somewhere in Liloan and eat our hearts out in a place where we don't have to worry about dressing up.

Paint a room of someone who, you know, needs it. Then, experiment a good barbeque sauce for a short BBQ party, roast hotdogs and then play the guitar, sing songs with bonfire in a beach probably or in the mountains with friends and loved ones.

 A romantic cruise around Mactan with Islands Banca Cruises and a sunset dinner at Talima Beach Villas! The attentive staff will make the girl feel like a queen! Additionally, for single ladies, what my friends did in college was that they did a kris kringle but for Valentine's where the person's kris kringle got her crush to do something sweet for her para kilig din. And I think it would be cute if there’s a scavenger hunt for each day leading up to Valentine's!

Try something different with a little bit of adventure away from the crowd. A good example would be an Avatar experience. Surreal date like fire flies kayaking on the 12th and 13th in Abatan River, which is just 15 minutes away from Tagbilaran City, Bohol. This different adventure tour is inclusive of kayak equipment, entrance fees and guide, food like chicken kebab, salad, and turmeric rice and smores for dessert, hot tea or coffee and a glass of red wine.

It's a flat water river paddling and paddle upstream with a slow current adventure. It starts at 4pm until 9pm. Plus, you can see migrating birds flying in a V formation.

For overnighters, we can book a room for you near the area or you can camp in style after paddling. The adventure is for families, groups and who have an appetite for adventure. It's a going to be a memorable date.

Climb Osmeña's Peak with a picnic lunch. Sit back, relax and dream of the future :)

Take her for an island hopping date. Bring picnic food and arrange for the boat to pick you up later in the day. Imagine just the two of you in a gorgeous white sand beach with crystal clear water. If the boat won't pick you up then at least you are stuck for a day in a beautiful island with the woman you love.
